Hi everyone,
As you may already know Chris is organising "regular quilting discussions".. She has people do moderate in the various time zones in the USA and some one in the UK to help.. BUT she hasn't been able to find anyone in Australia..
I am standing in for the 1st couple but then I will need another Aussie to take over the moderating of these chats... 8pm Thursdays - 2nd and 4th week each month...
Reply here or shoot an email out to Chris or I if you are interested in this exciting opportunity!

Hi ,
Oh I am so excited today! We are finnally going to kick off our live discussions in the chat room! We now have a volunteer moderator for each of the 5 time zones so everyone can attend. How cool is that?
Chats will be held at 8:00pm in your time zone, and will be held on the 2nd and 4th week of the month. Starting the week of June 8th! (Yes that is next week ladies) So get ready to meet the other members of Quilting Weekly and possibly your own neighbors!
Here are your moderators and days for your time zones
Monday - Central USA - moderator Chris Dahl
Tuesday - UK - moderator Trish Thornhill
Wednesday - West coast USA - moderator Larraine Reese
Thursday - Australia - moderator Michelle Frost
Friday - East coast USA - moderator Kathy Howard
The first topic for discussion should prove to be interesting to new and experienced quilters. See why some prefer hand while others prefer machine quilting.
For the new quilters, come with your questions, and get your answers.
For the more experienced quilter, remember we were all beginners once.
You can help prevent someone else from struggling by sharing your tips or tricks with them. I know when I started I had no one to teach me, and believe me...........I learned plenty of things the hard way! LOL
Hand quilting vs Machine quilting.
Here are some ideas to get your discussions started
What is your preference and why?
What do you like or dislike about your choice?
Do you have any tips on hand quilting or machine quilting?
What problems did/do you have with machine quilting/hand quilting?
Do you have any tools that make your job easier?
Was your decision to hand/machine quilt influenced by anyone/thing?
